It won't be clean and easy
There's more to carry than a case or two
I come with a history
That I won't forget in a life with you

This man's been true to me
And I didn't come by him easy
Shame, shame crying shame
Losing more than a family name

Don't let your footsteps falter
You're gonna get wet if you dip in the water
Be sure what you take me for
And I won't ever want for more

Don't let your footsteps fail me
You're gonna get sunk if you slip on the way
When I say that the time is right
Go walk this mother out of sight

I didn't plan to meet you
Now here I am on a roundabout
See the road where I lived my life
If I go with you there's no turning back

I'm tired and I ain't proud
But I want you more than I ever have
Tell me baby
Did you think about it?

It won't be young and pretty
Look around you, you know it
Ain't nothing new for me
I don't get fooled so easy

What's good ain't gonna be fine
Six months on down the line
You know shame, shame crying shame
Losing more than a family name

Don't let your footstep falter
You're gonna get wet if you dip in the water
Be sure what you take me for
And I won't ever want for more

Don't let your footsteps fail me
You're gonna get sunk if you slip on the way
When I say that the time is right
Go walk this mother out of sight

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't let your footsteps falter
You're gonna get wet if you dip in the water
Be sure what you take me for
And I won't ever want for more

Don't let your footsteps fail me
You're gonna get sunk if you slip on the way
When I say that the time is right
Go walk this mother out of sight

Oh, have you found it?
Did you find what you're looking for?
You know you change your mind
And it's a waste of time
And heaven only knows
You'll be on your own

Don't let your footsteps falter
You're gonna get wet if you dip in the water
Be sure what you take me for
And I won't ever want for more

Don't let your footsteps fail me
You're gonna get sunk if you slip on the way
When I say that the time is right
Go walk this mother out of sight
